Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We worked our asses off all weekend on the house. Sanded all 17 kitchen cabinet doors down to bare wood, which took two days. We did this outside under the pergola in our backyard, so it was lovely.

One of the rooms in the new place is all (walls and ceiling) wood paneling. Real knotty pine from the '40s, not fake wood paneling. It was looking rather tired and were thinking of a painting over it or sanding it. Well, I sprayed a section with Murphy's Oil Soap and let it sit for a bit, then wiped it off. The towel came away BLACK, but the paneling looks at least three shades lighter! I honestly think it may never have been cleaned. Murphy's is Da Bomb, and Teppy should definitely use it on the floor.

I really hate mondays.

As I skimmed by, I read that to say I hate monkeys and I was all, "what have monkeys ever done to you, sarameg?"

Murphy's is the best.

I love the Before Columbus Day and the navigational confusion day. y'all are funny.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What does Murphy's Oil Soap do?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

there is a street fair outside my offices today, so I am going to go get crepes and a funnel cake for lunch.

I am on day 3 of feeling like crap and I am betting dollars to donuts that it is all hormone induced mild depression/anxiety with a side case of low-grade fever for which I have no real recourse. caffeine and sugary starches probably aren't helping - I'll look into that next month.

See, navigational confusion day is a day I can get behind, because it pretty much describes my life.

I haven't gone to work today because I was in bed with a stomach virus all weekend and am only just starting to feel human again. So today feels so far from a Monday for me. Maybe a Saturday.

low-grade fever for which I have no real recourse

msbelle, can't you at least take Tylenol or ibuprofen for your fever?

What does Murphy's Oil Soap do?

I think the oil of the title refers to the fact that the soap could be used to clean wood finished with penetrating oils (as opposed to wax, which you can't use Murphy's on).
